Where can I get the no-cd patch from?
Thanks
ok i have tried everything listed in this thread, all compatibility modes, the no cd patch, run as admin, none of it works for me. can anyone confirm that paying for the game again through origin and getting the downloaded version will fix the problem (also the code on the original packaging can NOT be added to your origin acount to get your game working as previously claimed in here. tried that too. i like this game enough im willing to buy it AGAIN if i know it will work, im not buying a game i already paid for to see if it might work. very frustrated with ea & origin at the mome3nt
ok i got mine working, hope this helps others. my fix was a combination of previous ideas with 1 twist.
step one: i repurchased the entire command and conquer games series through Origin to get around the no disc problem
step two: i went into the options file in both the command and conquer generals and zero hour folders and edited the resolution value to 1920 1080 and saved them
step three: dont mess with resolution value in game under options or you will have to repeat step 2 to be able to play again
fix should work on any game in the series where the stock video option was showing invalid option and has an options file under documents. 3 days worth of headache......kind of surprised ea didnt do this as a patch
Hi
I had similar secdrv issues with Generals and a patch that came down for Win 7 last year
The fix was to start a cmd prompt as admin
Start > run>type cmd - from list of progs produced (cmd should be top) right mouse click & run as Admin
in the admin cmd box type sc start secdrv & Enter
C&C should now run
To stop the secdrv (obviously someone at MS thought it was a security breach in the same admin box type
sc stop secdrv
The full list of commands are :
sc config secdrv start= disabled
To set the driver's service to manual, type the following command:
sc config secdrv start= demand
To enable the driver's service (and to set it to automatic), type the following command:
sc config secdrv start=auto
To manually start the driver's service, type the following command:
sc start secdrv
To manually stop the driver's service, type the following command:
sc stop secdrv
I've just upgraded to Win 10 which has totally stopped this hack working
